WEBVTT WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF "NBA PRO POINTS." WE ARE DIALING RIGHT INTO THE NBA FINALS. GAME THREE WRITER ON 16 WAPT. ALONG WITH DARIUS RICE, A LEGEND AND 2006 CHAMP. DARIUS: I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WERE REALLY THAT SHORT. [LAUGHTER] JOSH: WILL WE HAVE GAME 3. CLEVELAND IN AN 0-2 HOLE. THEY WERE EXPECTED TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE. WHAT HAS GONE WRONG FOR CLEVELAND, AND WHAT HAS GONE RIGHT FOR GOLDEN STATE? DARIUS: GOLDEN STATE IS PLAYING THE PERFECT GAME. THE PLAYERS ARE HOT. THEY ARE NOT EVEN RELYING ON STEPH CURRY OR CLAY THOMPSON. DREAM ON GREEN HAS STEPPED UP. AND LEBRON NEEDS TO DO MORE. HE QUIT IN THE THIRD-QUARTER TO ME. HE SAT OUT THE WHOLE FOURTH QUARTER. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT. JOSH: ONLY THREE TEAMS OF COMEBACK FROM 0-2 DEFICIT TO WIN THE SERIES. YOU PLAYED ON ONE OF THEM'S,THE HEAT. DARIUS: I AM A CHAMPION A LOT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS. THE DALLAS SERIES, THAT WAS TOUGH IN MIAMI. THEY FOUGHT THROUGH IT. THEY WON THE FOUR GAMES THAT THEY NEEDED TO WIN. CLEVELAND CAN DO THAT AND WENDY'S 4 FOURS. -- AND WIN THESE 4 GAMES. THEY ARE A GREAT TEAM. IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY TOUGH. GAME THREE IS THE KEY. IF THEY LOSE GAME THREE IN GAME GOUR, THEY MIGHT AS WELL HANG IT UP. JOSH: DOES CLEVELAND GIVE THEM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY ON THE HOME COURT? DARIUS: A SWEEP IS POSSIBLE. IF CLEVELAND DOES NOT WIN GAME 3, A SWEET AS POSSIBLE. I THINK THEY MIGHT CHECK OUT GAME 4. NO POINT IN GOING BACK TO OAKLAND AND GET BEATEN BY 30-34 POINTS. GOLDEN STATE CAN GET 4 GAMES PRETTY EASILY. I THINK THEY WILL BE A DIFFERENT TEAM TOMORROW. I THINK THEY WILL COME OUT HARD AND AGGRESSIVE. CLEVELAND, THEY ARE AT HOME. CLEVELAND HAS NOT WON A CHAMPIONSHIP, IN SO LONG I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO COME OUT FIRED UP.
